Abstract: This information collection allows OHSEPR to fulfill its statutory responsibilities to provide temporary assistance to repatriates. OHSEPR uses this information collection to conduct both emergency and routine repatriation. These forms allow OHSEPR to conduct Program operations regarding: 1) determining a repatriate’s eligibility for temporary assistance 2) granting extensions for temporary assistance beyond the 90-day eligibility period 3) collecting repatriation loans from repatriates and to grant loan waivers and deferrals 4) reimbursing states and service providers for temporary assistance provided to eligible repatriates and 5) pre-approving states’ costs for emergency repatriation. OHSEPR made changes to all eight forms to ensure the information collected aligns with Program statutes and regulations as well as the purpose and use of the form. Revisions include clarifying statutory authority and general instructions on completing and submitting the forms. These changes make the forms more user friendly. OHSEPR also reduced the burden estimates to make them more accurate.

Short Statement: OHSEPR made changes to all eight forms and adjusted the burden and cost estimates to make them more accurate, based on current numbers and experiences to-date. See section A12 of the Supporting Statement for information about updates to burden estimates. In addition to updates to burden estimates as described in the Supporting Statement, the forms were uploaded in order for this submission and as such, some of the changes to burden on IC lines with ROCIS are due to shifting the order of entries.
